Beautiful day to greet the visiting Oatlands golfers

THURSDAY golf was well patronised this week despite the windy conditions.

Joe Casey showed he could handle the blustery conditions to take the honours. Balls went to Bill Wilcox and Roger Arrow.

There was a strong field of golfers to play an 18-hole stableford and 4BBB event on Saturday. Brothers Bob and David Slattery formed the winning pair in the 4BBB with a fine score of 49 points. Lloyd Roots and Paul Behan combined well and with 45 points were the runners-up.

The individual A grade winner was Barry Stubbs with 37 points on a countback from Dennis O'Connell. Peter Dale showed all his golfing skills to win B grade with 40 points. Lloyd Roots wasn't far behind with 39 points to be runner up.

Nearest the pin on the first was Kim Rawlings with four metres, Bob Slattery won the seventh at 3.6 metres, Rob Hayden was only 92 centimetres from the hole on the ninth and David Slattery hit the shot of the day to two metres from the hole on the 17th.
